Canon 338. §1 It is the prerogative of the Roman Pontiff alone to summon an Ecumenical Council, to preside over it personally or through others, to transfer, suspend or dissolve the Council, and to approve its decrees.

§2 It is also the prerogative of the Roman Pontiff to determine the matters to be dealt with in the Council, and to establish the order to be observed. The Fathers of the Council may add other matters to those proposed by the Roman Pontiff, but these must be approved by the Roman Pontiff .

§1. Unius Romani Pontificis est Concilium Oecumenicum convocare, eidem per se vel per alios praesidere, item Concilium transferre, suspendere vel dissolvere, eiusque decreta approbare.

§2. Eiusdem Romani Pontificis est res in Concilio tractandas determinare atque ordinem in Concilio servandum constituere; propositis a Romano Pontifice quaestionibus Patres Concilii alias addere possunt, ab eodem Romano Pontifice probandas.
